Background: Due to the process of aging, the function of human organs and muscles decreases. Exercise is a
solution to improve organ and muscle function. But it all must be in proportion. So far, aerobic exercise is an
exercise solution for the elderly, but which aerobic exercise has not been widely studied.
Purpose: To test aerobic weight bearing exercise and aerobic non weight bearing exercise as a sports solution for
old age.
Methods: The experimental laboratory used a completely randomized post-test design using 26 elderly females’
mice samples with three actions, namely 9 mice that were not exercised, 9 mice with aerobic weight bearing
exercise and 8 mice with aerobic non weight bearing exercise. this process is carried out for 6 weeks with a
frequency of exercise 5 times a week, and processed statistically using the statistical product and service solution
(SPSS) program.
Results: Aerobic weight-bearing exercise and aerobic non-weight-bearing exercise resulted in an enlargement
of the myocardium but there was significant difference between groups due to the One Way ANOVA test, with
p-value < 0,05.
Conclusion: weight bearing exercise induce hipertrophic effects and significant differences between aerobic
weight bearing exercise and aerobic non weight bearing exercise between the two groups.
